Yep, I have a friend that has a 333SP. Can't drive it on the street & needs 

a Ferrari Technician along to get it started!

Oh, absolutely. My 308GTB has 3-5/8" road clearance under the front 

(deep) spoiler at a line connecting the front axles (lowest point). 

Driveways are challenging and speed bumps are just abominations (with or 

without adequate clearance). And it doesn't help that the nose is 

cantilevered out so far. My biggest risk is pulling into a driveway a 

little too near the edge where the kerb starts to rise. I've only nicked 

one spoiler that way but doing so produced a string of expletives that 

would make a sailor blush!

Such fun...

Hi Francis, et al.,

Warning: Opinions follow...

1. Well done on the re-jetting back to factory spec.. I'm always 

fascinated by previous owners who consider themselves more clever than 

professional engineers! That said, everything in a car is a trade-off. My 

guess is that your PO wanted a tiny bit more high speed grunt at the 

expense of drivability (slow running).

2. I definitely would restore the ride height to factory spec.. Same 

argument. Ride should be a little softer too without sacrificing handling 

or road-holding.

Well done on your ongoing restoration! Its an incredibly rewarding hobby, 

isn't it?!
